About Us
Mirkuz is an association established in 2023 by a group of like minded individuals from backgrounds in different fields, ranging from Doctors to entrepreneurs, with the same goal of helping educating and empowering individuals and families to make informed medical decisions while giving care to cancer patients. We believe that everyone deserves access to an appropriate end of life care that meets their unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. That's why we provide a wealth of information about hospice care. And we aim to make hospice care a fundamental part of healthcare, where individuals and families have access to the support and resources, they need to make informed decisions about their care.
Our story
In 2022/2014 Yeshewalul Tesema, father to two of our team members, was diagnosed with late stage pancreatic cancer. It is a difficult enough time watching someone you love declining at the speed most cancer patients do but the hopelessness that comes from not knowing how to help them makes it so much harder. Thanks to Yeshewalul’s family’s familiarity with the disease and the hours’ worth of research done on their part, they did not struggle much. But that was when they saw the gap; the lack of information there is concerning cancer and how to take care of patients with cancer in the Ethiopian community.
Our mission
Our goal is to educate and empower individuals and families to make informed medical decisions while giving care to cancer patients. We believe that everyone deserves access to an appropriate end of life care that meets their unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. That's why we provide a wealth of information about hospice care; what it is, how it works, and what to expect, in order to improve quality of life. We are committed to providing support to individuals and families who may not have access to hospice care due to financial or other barriers. We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality hospice care, regardless of their ability to pay.
We believe that hospice care is about living life to the fullest with as much comfort as possible, even in the face of a life-limiting illness. We are here to support individuals and families through this journey, and to ensure that their needs and wishes are respected and honored.
